Server instructions

CedarBid answers questions about U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs contracts under NAICS 238220 (plumbing, heating and air-conditioning contractors) with activity since October 2018, from USAspending.gov, refreshed twice a week. Use it to find recurring VA HVAC and plumbing service contracts that end soon (likely to be solicited again), filter them by set-aside (for example SDVOSB), look up a contract by its number, see a company's VA contract history, see what a VA location buys and from whom, see what the VA typically pays for a type of work, and see in which months the VA awards this work. Dollar figures are amounts obligated to date, not full contract values. Every contract record includes an official_record link to USAspending.gov for confirming details, and a page link to a plain-English summary on cedarbid.com. CedarBid is independent and not affiliated with the VA. It does not cover open solicitations, which are published on SAM.gov.
